"Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul

"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."

Yeah, could've left everyone living in mud huts. I'm not sure most would have preferred that, however.

Earth Firsters would have. They, and the megafauna of the Americas and Australia, would also have preferred the Siberian land bridge and Timor Sea hadn't been crossed.

Just saying.

"They sell us the president the same way they sell us our clothes and our cars. They sell us every thing from youth to religion the same time they sell us our wars. I want to know who the men in the shadows are. I want to hear somebody asking them why. They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are but theyre never the ones to fight or to die." - Jackson Browne Lives In The Balance

I haven't seen a good source of news on this or anything that looks legit on what really happened so I am just going to keep imagining that the guy put up a bunch of Bernie Sanders 2016 posters in Rand's lawn.

Many people pleased to hear that a senator mows his own lawn

This story is posted on the DailyMail and probably half the comments are from people expressing shock and disbelief that a U.S. senator would actually mow his own lawn! Ha ha. Mostly positive comments towards Rand. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti....html#comments

Looking at the guys mug shot, I'm glad to see he suffered some damage to his face. Some reports are saying Rand was wearing "ear plugs" and the guy came at him from behind. Some suggesting that Rand may have rib injuries, mention "trouble breathing".

The intellectual battle for liberty can appear to be a lonely one at times. However, the numbers are not as important as the principles that we hold. Leonard Read always taught that "it's not a numbers game, but an ideological game." That's why it's important to continue to provide a principled philosophy as to what the role of government ought to be, despite the numbers that stare us in the face.

I see Rand uses the lawn mower of the 1% elite. Perhaps it was the continued darn noise from the thing that sent the neighbor over the edge. He should have an electric mower, powered by electricity generated by Kentucky coal.

We ask you to be so good as to pass a law requiring the closing of all windows, dormers, skylights, inside and outside shutters, curtains, casements, bull's-eyes, deadlights, and blinds — in short, all openings, holes, chinks, and fissures through which the light of the sun is wont to enter houses, to the detriment of the fair industries with which, we are proud to say, we have endowed the country, a country that cannot, without betraying ingratitude, abandon us today to so unequal a combat.

Doug Stafford said it is unclear when Paul will return to work since he is in considerable pain and has difficulty getting around, including flying. Stafford said Sunday that the broken ribs include three displaced fractures, which can lead to life-threatening injuries. The severe pain can last for weeks or months.

Robert Porter, who has known Paul and his family for more than 2 decades, told the Washington Post he went to see Paul Saturday evening.

“He’s in some pain, but he’s going to be fine,” Porter told the newspaper. Porter said Paul’s return to Washington will be a “game-time decision” but that Paul is planning to return to work at some point in the coming days.

Battery power riding lawn mower. That is pretty gay. And to make matters worse, the "dude" is wearing ear muffs.

Except as to the rule of appointment, the United States have an indefinite discretion to make requisitions for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America.

Dang, that's really bad. I just bruised a rib once and it hurt to breathe for weeks.

I like how all the headlines say "minor injury." Possible death doesn't seem minor. And how the hell is this only a possible max one year in prison?

I wouldn't be surprised if the official reason is some property dispute. But after this guy's Facebook, there is no chance politics wasn't a huge motivator. The guy is an unhinged leftist. You don't attack a US Senator like that over a property dispute.

You'd think something like that would upset the homeowners association...
